Dear Cheri,
I can do without the snakes thanks very much. Had a nasty experience with a big Brown Snake in Australia whilst living there. Very dangerous things.
We also have fruit trees here - apples, plums, cherries and pears, usually with a good crop, but last year just about now when the cherries were ripening we had an 'attack of the sparrows' - bit like a scene from 'The Birds'. Thousands descended in one flock, and when they had gone not a single cherry left on five trees! Fortunately that was the extent of their tastebuds, and everything else survived. Hoping for better things this year.
Yesterday the wood burner fire went back on - 31st May!! This should just about be Summer here. Can't believe it.
'The Scruff Diaries' continue apace - I will keep you posted, or I may even decide to blog the chapters - if that is possible.
Cheers,
Norm
